How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

Your available time to file a personal injury suit is known as a statute
of limitations, and it varies state by state. For Montana and South Dakota,
you will have three years to file a lawsuit against a liable party. Wyoming
is slightly more forgiving, allowing claimants four years to file a personal
injury lawsuit. North Dakota has a generous six-year limitation.

Keep in mind that the statute of limitations are measured from the
date of injury—so if you were injured between three or six years ago, you will
want to seek a personal injury lawyer quickly in order to pursue compensation
and hold negligent parties liable.

How Much is My Injury Case Worth?

The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, mostly regarding
the severity of your injuries. If you suffered major injuries that caused
significant life changes, including paraplegia or other types of paralysis,
that will affect how much compensation you are entitled to. Our firm retains
economists and medical experts who can testify to your injuries in order
to ask for appropriate resources from liable parties.

For example, a medical expert would be able to calculate with accuracy
the annual costs of your treatment. They would also be able to provide
the average costs of your lifestyle modifications, such as accessibility
ramps or special travel equipment. An economist could then adjust these
costs for inflation over the course of your lifetime, ensuring that you
would be covered for the rest of your life. They would also be able to
offer the money you
would have made while working for the course of your lifetime.

In short, as a personal injury attorney, I would employ every possible
avenue in order to get you the resources and provisions you need. That
type of aggressive and seasoned litigation only comes from experienced
injury lawyers.

What Damages Can I Claim in an Injury Suit in Montana?

Personal injury claims are intended to cover a broad range of needs for

result of your damages would be covered in a personal injury claim. For
